We Came As Romans – We Are The Reason lyrics

This is a poison everyone knows.
It runs through my rivers.
Created and cured by the same, and it will flow.

Tear through these holds, and rip away my heart.
With an effort so constrained, this is the venom in my veins.
This is the venom in my veins.
Created and cured by the same.
This is the venom in my veins.
I've spoken reckless words.

And I know I've built a bed of unrest.
That destroys my heart once I lay my head down.
Destroys the crutches that I've built, I thought they were sound.

We are the reasons for health and light, for illness and weakness.

It will flow from my body to yours, an infection that can't be cured.
We are the reasons for health and light, for illness and weakness.
We will tear through these holds.

We'll tear through these holds or we will keep them strong.
We are the reasons for health and light.

For illness and weakness, we will tear through these holds.
We will keep them strong.
We will keep them strong.

With an effort so constrained, this is venom in my veins.
Created and cured by the same.
By the same.

I've chosen selfless over selfishness, I've left a bed of disgust and unrest.
Destroyed the crutches that I built myself, I found that they were never sound.
It won't consume my heart anymore.

And I know I've built a bed of peace.
That restores my heart once I lay my head down.
Rebuilds the crutches that I destroyed myself.
I plead to change my life, just before I dream.
And wake to realize the change is inside me.

We are the reason for health and light, for illness and weakness.
We'll tear through these holds.

We'll tear through these holds or we will keep them strong.
We are the reasons for hope and light.
